Epic has had some good holiday giveaways over the years, but this one is a dud. This has to be the third or fourth time they've given Control.

Yea, but it's still a fantastic game for those who don't have it...

And I grabbed mines of moria and dredge last week

If you're extra lazy, and don't want to waste extra clicks on EpicGameStore (once account is made): https://github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer

Isn't it like 2 clicks to claim a game on Epic, and about a million clicks to play it anyway?

Don't know about you but Epic gives me a bot challenge every time I do absolutely anything on their site.

Heroic can claim free games on Epic without having to use their slow app?

EDIT: You can! It's so much faster! Drag had an easier time downloading Heroic and setting it up than just claiming a game on Epic.

Well shit, I've been launching Epic through Lutris. Guess it's time for me to check out Heroic.
